The animal went missing on Christmas Eve last year and the family offered a 2,000 reais reward to whoever finds it. After many days of torment, the puppy was found thanks to the efforts of the caregiver and four people who were directly involved in the rescue, who shared the value of the prize.

Mentor Giovana Kindline said that Boligna is fine, but this Thursday (19) it was necessary to take him to the veterinary clinic to treat some of the wounds that were on his body.

“I found Bolinha by the grace of God and with the help of people who love animals. One of the girls, Bibi, is in the WhatsApp group of pet lovers,” says Giovana.

According to the mentor, it was the connections that made the reunion possible. He was first photographed by a housewife and sent to the WhatsApp group of neighbors. Then one of the Pet Lovers neighbors from Jardim Albatroz sent an image to the group.

Then one of the Pet Lovers members saw Boligna’s photo and contacted Giovana’s daughter. She told him where he was, and the mentor went to meet him.

In addition, there were two visitors from the owner of the house where he was seen, who “began to act as guards when he came to the house looking for food,” he explains.

“I want to express my gratitude to all the people who care for animals for this wonderful mission of helping animals, God’s creatures, beloved San Francisco de Assis and us!” thanks Jovana. The ball is already at home
